I see AI exactly as what will help future generations, the possibilities it provides in terms of learning, research, analysis are huge. It confusing to me how people complain about jobs - there is no guarantee that any job will be there for

I see spreading Rust as an overall good thing, because it changes benchmark on how software should feel in terms of performance, stability, memory footprint. So even if it doesn't create tangible advantage in a particular use case - it

Are there any new features/improvements compared to established languages? For me its interesting to see how new languages explore new ideas, which don't exist in the mainstream yet.

>One does not simply YOLO a full langugae rewrite without user feedback. it is insane. The whole ai thing today is pretty insane, I would say. Why not ride with it, especially if your company is one of the biggest leaders?

Well it was 9 days ago, at the time they were not confident, but maybe the results were insanely good.

Keys are aligned vertically, so your fingers move mostly straight up/down instead of diagonally. The grid layout makes key positions more predictable and consistent. Most ortholinear boards are 40–60% layouts. Heavy use of layers (like

That would be fantastic! The standard keyboard design is extremely outdated, while for desktop there are some products pushing it with ortholinear layout and thumb clusters, for laptops its doesn't exist at all. I don't know how m

I admit I was not aware of memory consumption details, then Rust implementation does make a lot of sense!

XL is a very interesting modern iteration on extensible languages, unfortunately it seems abandoned.

With Tauri you also get the freedom of choosing frontend frameworks and can reuse existing frontend code/skills. Yes React has issues, for example Svelte handles reactivity in a much better way. I don't see real benefits of re-imp

Proof of correctness would be fantastic, but I have yet to see it in action. LLMs maybe could do it for simple program, but I'm pretty sure it will fail in large codebases (due to context limits), and types help a lot in that case. &gt

I used a few different lisps for pet projects and honestly today for me the biggest problem of lisps is the typing. ADTs (and similar systems) are just super helpful when it comes to long term development, multiple people working on code, b
